Today has been a difficult day... One of those when the kids are going that extra bit whingey or crazy for some reason, there is plenty of things that you need to do, and places to be... and it just is soooo difficult to get out the door. All the things you do each day, are just that bit harder... and with such a cumulation you could easily lose the plot! Sometimes I get a bit of an 'out-of-body' experience and feel as though I am in a 'Zen' state of relaxed consciousness (ha!) - but really when a baby's crying constantly and a toddler is screaming and whinging and pulling at you - and you are remaining CALM somehow and in control - I reckon that is absolutely a Zen moment (not that I've ever studied it or know what the heck I am talking about really!)
But apart from being a 'Zen Mummy - I've come up with another theory of practising the alphabet:
Start each day with a basic plan in your head of how things will go: Plan A, when enough things go wrong move onto Plan B, which has less things on it and is a bit more simplified, when plan B goes wrong move to plan C - which of course is even simpler... and so on and so on. Until finally you may reach Plan Z - which is to simply to do nothing other than practise the alphabet, which you have already accomplished! Yay!
